I highly recommend using really ripe bananas for this recipe - they should be speckled and spotted, this will make for a sweeter bread and great banana flavor!

Because this bread has very little added sugar, the overripe bananas make up most of the sweetness in this recipe.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until they are a paste.

Stir in the eggs until they are fully combined. Then add the vanilla extract and honey. Stir till fully combine. 

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine. 

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
